We hired Nordly for our wedding and couldn’t be happier. The photographer was very kind and responsive, stayed longer given we had underestimated the time, and was extremely progressional. The pictures looked fantastic and he had tons of great ideas for location. Would 100% recommend to friends and family.

Frederick was an amazing wedding photographer. He was super prompt, had a great eye, and helped make our day what it was. I couldn't recommend him more. For our micro-wedding (11 people, including us), we didn't have very much of a vision and he helped direct us to make sure our photos were spot on. I am very happy with the result.

It was such a pleasure working with you—your wedding was a joy to capture! The stunning scenery, and of course, you and your husband, made the whole experience even more special.

Fred from Nordly’s Photography did an amazing job with my surprise engagement photos. I inquired here on Thumbtack and he responded almost immediately, I let him know the date I was hoping to propose and we developed a solid plan during the first phone call. A few days before the planned date, he sent over some info for the day of which really helped me execute everything we talked about. I really appreciate his professionalism throughout the entire process! On the day of the proposal everything worked out as we had planned and my fiancé had no idea! Fred was very kind and patient during the actual shoot and was also nice enough to pick up some roses and champagne last minute which made a really nice touch to the proposal! I highly recommend his services, the actual photos came out beautiful (even though the weather wasn’t as nice as we had hoped). My surprise proposal ended up being one of the best days of my life and I couldn’t have pulled it off without the help of Fred from Nordly’s Photography!

Thank you so much for the kind words! It was an absolute pleasure helping you bring such a meaningful moment to life. I’m so glad everything came together smoothly—even with the unpredictable weather—and that your fiancé was genuinely surprised! You put so much care and thought into the proposal, and it was an honor to be part of it. Wishing you both all the best as you begin this exciting new chapter together!

Great shooting experience. Fred did an excellent job engaging my toddler and accommodating my last minute photo session request. He found the perfect spot on a gloomy, rainy day. He’s an extremely passionate and professional photographer. The pictures are beautiful and of great quality. I highly recommend Nordlys Photography.
